According to much of the mainstream media, President Biden’s opponents simply do not exist. Speaking for myself, that is not what most bothers me… What bothers me is that to them, the poor do not exist. The chronic anxiety of those struggling to make ends meet does not exist. Hungry children in America do not exist. The corruption of their corporate sponsors does not exist. The destruction of the earth does not exist. Of course they seek to invisible-ize those who bring up such inconvenient topics. The derision of the status quo’s gatekeepers: almost a badge of honor in a world where the status quo is such a cesspool of denial and naïveté about the state of our country and the risks to our world.
